HERE's what is happening right now, gang. The bucks for the charity drive are safe and sound in the bank. I'm going over tomorrow to close the account I 'specially made for us and convert the... $2,287.92we collected HERE on the board into a cashier's check for presentation to CHOC. The donations for the brick account that went DIRECT to CHOC from us totalled $322.00!!!So we have a grand total of... $2609.92I sent an e-mail to Joyce requesting an appointment with her so I can drive down there and make the presentation. ;D ;D ;D I was thinking of trying to make a really big check to get some pictures of it, me, and Joyce, but I don't have either the materials OR the artistic talent, consarn it! I requested an appointment for next week early, so I can get this done for us. ;D I'll keep ya all posted, and this thread will be for the narrative of how it went, and for a bunch of pics for everybody.

I'm still bummed I couldn't get a penny in. Heck, the bank hasn't even allowed me to properly activate an account even now. But I'll get it open soon enough to donate for the next charity drive...if we have one.

I present to you guys... The CHECK for CHOC!!! Sorry about the lousy scan, but the paper is on high security stuff so you CAN'T make good copies. But, There it is, locked up in a cashiers' check, and now out of my name. The receipt part of it gets sent to Ron in Middleton for his records, and for all posterity. It IS his message board, after all. I was only the instigator of the Drive, LOL! I've got the appointment next Wednesday to deliver this at 1:30. It was fun to do. ;D

I think everyone needs to give a round of applause to RD for being at the beginning of this and carrying it through.
Congrats Big Guy!

The folks who contributed and those who supported this wonderful fun Drive are those who deserve the applause, Joe. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time to help THEM make this happen.
TODAY is the big day, and I'm gettin' ready to go.
Hmmm... should I wear my Rufus 'Party Naked' T-shirt?
Nah... kids might get the wrong idea.
Camera's charged, empty, and ready to go.
I think I'll bring Joyce one of my little stuffed Rufus toys for her desk maybe. I hope she likes it!
WHOOOOOOSH!
